SaniDate 5.0 Sanitizer & Disinfectant — 2.5 Gallon

BioSafe Systems SaniDate 5.0 is a hydrogen peroxide and peroxyacetic acid (PAA) concentrate for commercial sanitation, disinfection, and labeled water-treatment applications. This 2.5-gallon package supplies concentrate for measured dilution in greenhouse and packinghouse programs.

Select the Correct Application

The following summarizes the manufacturer's 49-state V22.2 specimen label. Follow the complete label supplied with your product; a separate California label is linked below. Surface sanitation, disinfection, in-crop water treatment, and between-crop line treatment are not interchangeable.

Greenhouse Surface Disinfection

Remove debris and pre-clean compatible hard, non-porous surfaces. Apply 0.5–2.2 fl oz per gallon of water; keep surfaces visibly wet for 10 minutes. Labeled sites include benches, pots, flats, trays, cutting tools, glazing, floors, and equipment. Not for disinfection of wood surfaces. Food-contact surfaces require a potable-water rinse following disinfection.

Food-Contact Surface Sanitation

Pre-clean with detergent and rinse with potable water. Use 1.6–5.4 fl oz per 5 gallons of potable water; keep surfaces visibly wet for 1 minute, then drain thoroughly. Do not rinse under this sanitation procedure. Do not confuse this with disinfection, which has different contact-time and rinse requirements.

Greenhouse Irrigation Water During Production

The label specifies 5.8–46.5 fl oz per 1,000 gallons of water to suppress or control algae, bacteria, fungi, and fungi-like organisms in irrigation water during crop production. A water test is recommended to select the rate. Follow all injection-placement, equipment, and chemigation requirements. Do not substitute the concentrated between-crop rate.

Between-Crop Irrigation-Line Treatment

To control existing algal or bacterial growth inside greenhouse irrigation systems between crop-growing seasons, fill lines at 1:100–1:50, described on the label as 1–2 gallons of product per 100 gallons of water. Hold for at least 60 minutes, or overnight if possible, then flush with fresh irrigation water. This is not an in-crop irrigation-water rate.

Entry Restrictions and Safety

For enclosed greenhouse uses covered by the Worker Protection Standard, the linked label specifies a 1-hour REI for fogging or spraying and 0 hours for listed non-spraying methods. Follow the full method-specific entry, ventilation, and PPE requirements. Field and non-agricultural uses have separate directions.

Danger: corrosive, strong oxidizing agent. The label warns of irreversible eye damage and skin burns. Mix only with water as directed; never bring concentrate into contact with other pesticides, cleaners, or oxidizing agents. Wear label-required coveralls over a long-sleeved shirt and long pants, rubber gloves, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and goggles or a face shield. Follow the label and SDS for storage, first aid, environmental protection, and disposal.
